Chapter 5:

Explanations and Comfort:

Bakura was leaning against the far wall of the elevator, resting his eyes as the elevator was taking him down to the 3rd floor.

For some reason he kept worrying over Ryou, even though the older knew that things are fine; so there is really no reason to worry, right?

The whitenette let out a sigh as he finally made it to his destination. When the doors open, Bakura stepped out and began heading towards his brother's suite.

The two were only 5 minutes apart at birth, making Bakura older. The two were 2 inches apart in height, making Bakura the tallest. Him being 5'9 and Ryou 5'7.

When the teen had finally reached the door, he lifted his hand and knocked a few times, waiting for Ryou to answer.

As time went by, Bakura's patience was slowly diminishing.

With a growled, the white hair teen began searching his pocket for a picket so he can unlock the door and let himself in.

He knew Ryou won't be happy but the older albino didn't really give a fly.

Once he found his trusted picket, Bakura knelt down in front of the lock to begin his task. With a sound a of a click, the teen smirked heh still go it he thought with glee and he put the picket back in his pocket and slowly opened the door.

Upon standing, the older albino peeked his head in, hoping to catch his brother either reading or playing on the computer, but to his disappointed the young albino was not in sight.

With a shrug of his shoulders, Bakura let himself in, closing the door behind him as he gracefully stroll in Yugi's and Ryou's room, making himself comfortable on the latter's bed.

Bakura turn his head to Ryou's bed side table and decided to scan the books that were located within the cubby beneath.

Running a finger along the books while reading the titles, the older albino realized that 6 out of the 8 books were for Ryou's classes.

Why Ryou wanted to go into psychology, one couldn't say maybe its due to the fact that Bakura is crazy and Ryou wanted to understand him better.

Hn, there is no way that kid is going to analyze my brain, heck I don't even want to analyze my own brain, let alone have someone else do it he thought.

Psychologists for some reason irk the teen, maybe it was because he father had made the teen go see a few or forced being the operative word.

There were two things that the older teen had got out of his sessions, 1) his therapists were a bunch of crocks; and 2) they didn't know what the hell they were talking about, half the time.

They think they know everything, wait until they become like their patients then we will see who is more knowledgeable.

Bakura's thoughts were interrupted at the sound of the bathroom door opening, looking for his shoulders he caught the sight of his brother.

The older teen laid back down onto the bed, resting his head behind his hands as he waited for his brother to make his appearance and start bitching him out about breaking into other people's room.

Even if that person was related to the said thief old habits die hard, Ryou should know that by now. Ryou walked in the room, drying his hair with the towel as he proceeded to head towards his dresser.

The boy was already wearing his pajamas and slippers, ready to get much needed rest.

Half way to the dresser, the young teen stopped as a frown marred his face. Letting out any annoyed sigh, he slowly turn his head and starred into a pair of mahogany eyes.

Placing his towel over the back of the chair, Ryou then lean against the said furniture with his arms cross as he regarded his brother, who had the audacity of breaking into his room.

Okay maybe breaking in wasn't the operative word to use, but allowing himself in without permission, now that is inexcusable.

But, this is Bakura he was talking about and Ryou learned a long time ago there is nothing that he could do, Bakura will always be Bakura (a/n: the thief we all adore and love).

"Do I need to ask how you managed to get in, Kura" he asked with an eyebrow raised. The said teen gave his brother an innocent look, "why I don't know what your talking about Ry."

Shaking his head, the younger brother took a seat at the foot of his bed, not looking at his brother's patronizing stare.

Looking up into the eyes of his brother Ryou asked "what are you doing here Bakura; I thought you would be hanging with Atem and the others?"

The older albino gave his brother a put-off look, "yeah well I was, till Malik said that you sounded depressed; so I wanted to check up on you to see if you're okay."

The younger albino gave his brother a smile "thanks for your concern, but as you can see I am fine; no reason for you to worry."

The two brothers were silence till the older decided to speak "are you sure your okay, Ry?"

Hearing the concern in his brother's voice, Ryou wanted to say no and tell him everything that had happened, but would he believe me or laughed, knowing Kura no one never knows.

Seeing his brother lost in his thoughts, Bakura crawled over towards Ryou and placed his hands on the boy's shoulders, giving him a little shake.

Snapping out of his thoughts, chocolate color eyes starred into mahogany color eyes, "by the look on your face you don't seem fine, what happened?"

Ryou continued studying his brother, with a growl Bakura continued, "you know Ryou, as I approached your door, I noticed something very interesting across the way."

Seeing his brother's eyes widen, the older albino continued "it looked like a dent had décor the wall, now why would that be?"

Ryou knew deep down that his brother had figured it out, hoping to play it off the younger gave the older an innocent look.

Tilting his head to the side "I don't know what you're talking about Bakura, it was there when I came back" Ryou made sure confusion was laced in his voice.

Bakura raised an eyebrow at his brother as his eyes narrowed, "quit the innocent act Ryou, I can see right through it." The said teen pouted "so you going to tell me or do I have to force it out of you" warned Bakura.

Ryou frantically shook his head, "alright, alright I'll tell you" he whispered. Nodding, the older of the two sat back giving the younger some space.

Okay, now how should I explain this so I don't sound crazy, well then again Bakura is the definition of crazy so maybe this won't be as hard Ryou thought? "This might sound random Kura, but um…do….do you believe in ghosts?

The older teen gave him a dumbful look but shrugged his shoulders, "why wouldn't' I, it is not like they don't exist." Ryou felt relief wash over him at his brother's answer. Then "why do you ask?"

Ryou starred down at his blue and green comforter finding the patterns rather interesting all of a sudden.

"Ryou" his brother growled. Looking up at his brother the young teen carefully chose his words as he began his tale.

Throughout the story, the young albino was studying his brother's expressions wondering what was going on in that mind of his.

Though at the same time, he didn't really want to know. Once done, silence hanged over the two brothers; Ryou purposefully left out the part where he was violently attack.

A frowned had marred on his brother's face, "Ryou" began Bakura slowly earning his brother's attention.

Fisting his hands, Bakura continued, "you weren't hurt or anything were you" he carefully asked?

"Since spirits have the tendency to hurt their victims, if they so choose."

Ryou wasn't really sure if he wanted to answer his brother's question or not, afraid of what Bakura would do if he found out.

But then again, his brother can see through him and as a bonus, Ryou is a horrible liar, so Ryou knew he was in a lose-lose situation.

Seeing his brother's don't lie to me look, Ryou knew he was screwed. The young teen didn't want to voice his answer so a simple nod was all that was needed.

Ryou suddenly became aware of Bakura's eyes narrowing dangerously into slits, as they turn into a darker shade of red, Ryou had to take drastic measures fast or his brother would go on a rampage.

That is the last thing this university needed was a crazy, mentally disturb teen walking around campus taking his anger out on anything and anyone.

"Bakura, it wasn't anything serious, so please calm down" he pleaded. Seeing his brother's frighten look, the older teen tried to get himself under control.

Seeing his eyes turning back to their normal color, Ryou let out a sigh of relief. "Let's keep this between us okay" Bakura order in a calm tone.

Seeing that there was no room for argument Ryou nodded.

"I believe you Ry, but the others probably won't be as understanding."

Seeing his point, Ryou nodded once again "what if it happens again to someone else, Kura….I don't want anyone getting hurt."

The said teen gave his younger brother a smile "until we figure out what's going on, there isn't really anything we can do; just promise me that if what happened, happens again you tell me...okay."

Hearing the serious in Bakura's voice, the teen smiled "deal."
